Water, Water Everywhere . . .At Least For Now


The Aquarium of the Pacific’s newest exhibit, “Our Watersheds: Pathway to the Pacific,” goes beyond cute fishies and ocean monsters to address California’s looming catastrophe—and I’m not talking earthquakes here. Our beautiful, but over-populated state faces massive water shortages unless we all get serious about saving water.

The open air exhibit features a eye-catching waterfall and other interactive exhibits with water-conservation tips as well as a garden of drought adaptive native plants. An interactive website about watersheds created by the Aquarium gives a taste of scope of information covered in this eco-friendly exhibit, with appeal for water-lovers (and water consmuers) of all ages. You can pick up a “Pass to the Pacific” at any branch of the Long Beach Public Library for 50% discount for up to four admissions. The offer is good through May 22 with some blackout dates around spring break.
